Wow, that’s amazing! I can’t believe it’s being sold at the same price as the Deepest State!
I wish…

Dang that walnut finished polish should be the default for titaniums over raw. Thats looks so clean

Please, please, please take all of my monies now! Haha, I am really excited for this and hope I can get one. I’ll say it here because I keep saying it everywhere else. If I had to sell or get rid of all of my yo-yos, which is thousands, a titanium deepest state would be the one that I kept. Here’s hoping I can afford and score one.

i think I’m confused. i thought ti was used for durability and the ability to machine it thinner without making it fragile to aid in more aggressive weight distributions. doesn’t seem like either of those are really factors for responsives. so i guess my question is why ti for responsive?

It is explained to some degree here:
The goal [for the Deepest State] was to make the best possible aluminum[sic] Modern Responsive yo-yo we could. For the Ultra State, the goal was the same except this time the material is titanium.
Because the body is so thin, the Ultra State has a high amount of rim weight and this results in a lot of power and long spin times to the point that it’s a bit scary because it’s responsive.

Do we have a release date yet?

I can verify, it is a bit scary. You can give it the softest throw and it still just wants to spin

right so the weight distro power thing. that’s what I’m talking about. from everything I’ve read and seen everyone seems to be playing their deepest states 0a. speed and power are enemies of tricks like stalls and completely irrelevant for things like flips and backhand stalls, etc. so it just seems kinda gimmicky i guess 
Oh it stalls like a boss. The grease bucket bearing and protruding pads give it a very snappy response. If you watch Ed throw 0a hes usually doing a pretty soft throw to acieve stalls even with aluminum or wood. Ultra is like a sleeper race car built out of a Suzuki Swift. When you play it kind of laid back and slow like a lot of 0a is it is reliable and very fun. But when you hit the boost and let it rip super hard suddenly you may be in danger.

It looks amazing. I hope I get to throw one.

lol what does this mean?
edit: i guess what im struggling to understand is this version will cost significantly more than my deepest state did (which is absolutely phenomenal). you say it can play laid back and stall which im sure it can, especially due to the factors you mentioned like protruding pads and a grease bucket, but so does deepest. that leaves the part i quoted above as my gain over my deepest state. so im trying to figure out what that gain is

I don’t think I have seen any of the people requesting a Ti iteration of Deepest State suggest that Ti would solve some problem or add some capability that was not achievable with aluminum. IME, that’s almost never the justification/appeal of Ti yo-yo. Perhaps one exception is the durability for EDC.
In this case, it sounds like the design constraints combined with the physical properties of Ti resulted in a yo-yo with much more power than is strictly necessary for a responsive. We’ll find out what people figure out to do with it. For the rest of us, watch out for that extra power on the return.

No, it’s only on the site at the moment.

i dunno if that’s a fair statement.
this is just a convenient example just posted today and while not solving a “problem” sounds pretty purposeful relating the design choices to specific refinements of existing models. if this version of X state is just “hey look ti!”, then sweet! im not dumping, they genuinely look gorgeous!
Some questionable reasoning in that copy, IMO.
But on the topic of Ultra State:
I think that is overly reductive. It took some tricky design and manufacturing to make the Ultra State, and the result has some notable play characteristics due to those constraints.
Not sure why this, or any other yo-yo, needs to be justified.
